Butter - East U.S.

Released on February 11, 2026

Butter plants continue operating seven days a week, which contacts describe as 
typical for this time of year. Milk production remains steady, and cream is 
reported to be readily available for butter production. Weather has not 
adversely affected milk output. Butter production is expected to taper ahead of 
the seasonal cream draw from Class II users beginning in late spring. Retail 
butter demand continues to exceed last year, supported by lower retail shelf 
prices. Bulk butter demand is steady. Cream multiples are steady week over week.
